Thyroid refill guide

Thyroid medication refill online in Virginia and West Virginia

This guide is for continuing an already-established, stable dose of levothyroxine (or desiccated thyroid/liothyronine) for previously diagnosed hypothyroidism, with a recent in-range TSH. This visit never starts new thyroid medication, treats hyperthyroidism, or manages a thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer.

If you've been on the same, stable dose of levothyroxine (or desiccated thyroid/liothyronine) for hypothyroidism for at least 3 months, and you have a TSH blood test result from within the last 12 months that's in your normal range, an online refill can often be issued quickly, and continues through regular check-ins as part of ongoing care, as long as your dose and labs stay stable. This visit is refill-only. It does not start thyroid medication for the first time, treat an overactive thyroid, or manage a thyroid nodule or thyroid cancer.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.

Why do I need a recent TSH result to get a refill?

TSH is the standard blood test used to confirm your thyroid dose is still correct. Refilling without a current TSH risks continuing a dose that's too high or too low, which can cause real symptoms and, over time, heart or bone effects. A TSH from within the last 12 months that's in your normal range confirms your current dose is working.

Where can I get a TSH blood test?

You can get a TSH test at most labs, urgent care clinics, or your primary care office. Some labs also offer walk-in or self-ordered testing. Once you have a result, take a clear photo of the lab report and use it for your refill request.

Can you start me on thyroid medication for the first time, or treat hyperthyroidism?

No. This visit only refills medicine for people already taking a stable dose for an underactive thyroid that was diagnosed before. Starting new thyroid medicine, treating an overactive thyroid, and caring for a thyroid lump or thyroid cancer all need an in-person or thyroid specialist visit.
